"What makes this collection so compelling is its determination to recover lives obscured by imperial bureaucracy. These essays expose colonial violence while celebrating the extraordinary cultural diversity and resilience of the Americas. The archive, once an instrument of domination, becomes a place of imaginative resistance." —Morning Star
